Application led March 16, 1925. Serial No. 15,947.

My present invention has reference to an article for smokers use.

My object is t'o provide a pipe. cigar or cigarette holder with .means whereby the smoke in its passage therethrough will assume circuitous courses so that the same will be effectively cooled before entering the smokers mouth and also wherein the moisture will'be removed from the. smoke in its said passage and whereby the smoker may enjoy his smoke in a cool condition and without liability of injurious effects.

-With the above broadly ystated objectin view, the improvement residesl inthe novel features of construction, combination and association of the several parts, such, for instance, as is disclosed by the accompanying drawings when read in connection with the following vdescription and pointed out with particularity in the appended claims. In the dawings: Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a smokers pipe in accordance with this invention, parts being in section.

Figure 2 an approximately central longitudinal sectional view through ,thev

parts constitutingr the improvement, the same being separated, and the mouth piece being omitted.

Fi ure 3 is mout piece.

Figure 4 is an approximately central longitudinal sectional view therethrough.

Figure 5 is a central longitudinal sec tional view through a bowl for holding a cigar or cigarette.

Figure 6 is a perspective strainer employed.

ln the drawings. the numeral 1 designates the bowl of the improvement. In Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, the bowl is of the type employed for holding loose tobacco, while in Figure 5 of the drawings, the bowl, indicated for distinction by the numeral 1, is of the type employed for holding cigars or cigarettes. In each instance the bowl 1 has a smoke'outlet port 2 which communicates with a threaded opening 3, the outer end of the bowl stem being preferably formed with an annular depression 4 that surrounds the threaded opening 3. Also, if desired, a pocket 5 may be arranged between the port 2 and the threaded opening il.

The stem of the improvement is broadly indicated by the numeral 6. The inner end a perspective view of the view of the of the stem is reduced and formed withexterior threads 7 that are designed tobe screwed into the opening 3 in the bowl.

"The saidy reduced threaded portion 7 of the stem has its end formed with an annular depression 8 in which there is seated a disk 9 which is foralninous or apertured to provide a screen. When the" stem is screwed in the bowl, the shoulder 10 provided between the reduced threaded portion of the stem and the stelmproper will be received in the Idepression 4 in the end of the bowl 1 or 1. The stem 6, at the juncture'of the body thereof and the reduced ortion 7 has an interior partition 11, divi ing` the said stem into a, compartment 12, arranged longitudinally of the threaded portion .7 thereof and into van outer and longer compartme'nt 13. The partition is provided with a port 14 establishing a communication between the chamber 12 and the exterior of Vthe stem 6.

vwith the bowl 1 or 1. there is atubular` sleeve 16.A -One end of this sleeve is received in the depression 4 of the bowl, and the said sleeve for the major portion of its length is formedwith exterior circumferential ribs or vanes 17 which are closely associated, and which are designed to rbe `contacted by currents of air for retaining the sleeve and consequently they stem 6 in a cool condition. The outer end of-the sleeve 16 is reduced, and the bore ofthe said reduced portion is threaded, as at 18. Byreference to Figure 1 of the drawings it will be noted that the sleeve 16 is of a considerably greater length than that of the body of the stem 6, so that there is established a chamber 19 between the outer end of the stem and the outer end of the sleeve, the purpose of which will presently be apparent.

sleeve .16 there is the reduced inner end 20 of a mouth piec'e 21. The shoulder 22 between the mouth iece and .its thread ex# tension 20, is designed to contact with the outer end Aof the sleeve 16. The portion 20l of the mouth piece is not threaded the entire length thereof, but is only threaded a suitable distance from the shoulder 22.4 The non-threaded portion of the element 20 is formed with longitudinally arranged angularlyA disposed ducts 23, and arranged centrally between the downwardly inclined ducts 23, there is the smoke passage or port 24 of the mouth piece. By reference to Figures 1 and 4 of the drawings, it will be f seen that the passage 24 is arranged at a downward angle from the en-d of the por. tion 20 to the outer end of the mouth piece,

and also by reference to Figure `1, it will he seen that the ports 23 establish a communication between the4 compartment 13 of the mouth piece and the part 19 of the sleeve 16, which I have referred to as a passage.

Also it will be'noted that the inlet to the port 14 to cause the saine to take a circuitous passage between the threads on the body portion of the stem This, in itself, will eect in cooling the smoke, but the construction of the sleeve 16 is such as to further aid in attaining this result. The smoke, after leaving the stem, is received in the passage 19 and is drawn through the duets 23 of the mouthpiece into the compartment 13 of the stem and from thence downwardly and outwardly through the smoke port or passage 24 in the stem 21. The result is that the smoke is delivered in a cool condition into the smokers mouth and that all moisture is removed therefrom before entering the smokers mouth. The device is therefore sanitary and by its use, the smoking of tobacco will inllict no injury to the smoker. The parts constituting the improvement are easf ily separated and may be readily cleaned when .occasion requires. The improvement is, of course, not to be restricted to material employed or the precise features of construction above set forth, as it may befound desirable to make changes therefrom without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In addition to the moisture extracted from the smoke as above mentioned, the compartment 13 in the stem serves as a container for` saliva from the mouth of the smoker which otherwise would enter in varying amounts .through the port or smoke passage 24 in the mouth piece.

Having described the invention, I claim 1. A smokers article including a tobacco bowl, ay stem therefor, said stein having a partition therein dividing the same into an inner comparatively small and an outer coinparatively large compartment, said stem havingI a port between the inner coinpartment and the outer surface of said stein, a sleeve arranged over they stem and with which the port communicates to establisha smoke conveying passage between the stem and the sleeve, a mouth piece having a ,re-

duced end, a portion of which` is screwedv in the outer end of the sleeve and the'exgageinent with the bore of the outer passage of the stem, said mouth piece having an outlet smoke port communicating with thersaid outer compartment of the stem, and having ducts arranged to the opposite sides of the port and establishing smoke passages between the outer end of the sleeve-aud the outer compartment of the stem. y i

2. A smokers article including atobacco bowl, a stem havin a reduced end connected with the bowl, sai stem having a partition therein `divid1ng the same into an inner and into an outer compartment. the inner compartment, at the juncture of the partition therewith having an angle port communicating 'between the inner compartment and the exterior of the stem, said stem having an outer continuous spiral depression with which the port communicates, a sleeve arrangedover the stem, havingone end connected with the pipe bowl and the other ena extending be ond thestem, a mouth piece having a ret uced extension on one of its ends which threadedly engages the outer end of the sleevefand is frictionally received in the bore of the outer compartment of the stem, said mouth piece having an angle port extending the length thereof and communieating with the outer compartment of the stem and said stem having ducts which establish smoke passages between the sleeve and the said outer compartment of the stem v and said sleeve'having spaced vaneson its outer surface.

In testimony whereof I aflixmy signature.
